Hi everybody! I have a deck of Deland's automatic playing cards that say "copyright 1913 by T.L. DE LAND" on the box. They were printed in Belgium. ----------------------000000000000000----------------

The “Deland Deck” had been in constant production since it was first introduced. They are still manufactured and sold.

I have about a half a dozen decks left in a gross that I bought ten years ago. I take them out of the Deland box and put them in a Bicycle box, and glue the Deland Joker back out over the Bicycle design so that you see the Deland back on the box. No one has ever challenged the design. Some have looked at it and commented on how interesting it was. I merely state that it is a deck of cards I picked up in Europe.

Thanks for reminding me of this deck. It is well made compared to other “untracked” cards and can be used as a standard deck. The big plus is the heavy gimmicking done to the deck such that you can do memorized deck work with out memorizing the deck!
